#fun childhood memories!!!

[chiptrillino]

What about the adults? Iroh would probably make some kind of apple tea but accidentally give himself indigestion with a mild dose of cyanide. June feels like she'd slice an apple while beating someone up. Hakoda totally slices apples for his kiddos (maybe makes a happy face out of them). Not sure about Ozai, Bato, or Jee.

i feel like i have to do a graphic for the atla characters and their apple preferences hahah my problem is... i know many kinds! but only german names.... i didn't think much of the adult. also because i think some don't like apple, could have a mild allergy or are really indifferent about them. like the only thing i am sure of is that gran gran cuts an apple open. lets it out till it shirwls up a bit and then eats it. it gets softer, is less acidy for the teeth, say locals old grannies form my place. i can't find anything online to back me up hahah

i guess its a given that parents slice apples for their kids. and i am sure that hakoda has a scar on his thumb for cutting to deep once on accident. but i also think that in the pole if they have apple they have like really small ones. like they grow like apricot size (they do exist! but i do not live on the poles.... so not sure how it fits with atla poles flora... ) eitherway bato challenged him to fit 5 in his mouth. lets say... don't do this at home kids. luckely hakoda survived (bato: he only fit 3. <-fit 5 in his mouth kya: looser <-fit three in her mouth hakoda: i hate you two) i don't think everything for iroh involves tea though hahah. i like the idea that he accidentally poisons himself. but i am sure he cuts apples up for zuko on the ship and serves them with some tea while zuko has his nose buried in old books and scrolls about the past avatars.

june shares her apples with nyla!!! she bites off peaces and gives it to her lovley shirishu! does nyla only eat meat? probably. but i think small peaces as a treat could still be good for the animal. (so june eats eats apple like a normal person (if she is not accessing her dominance in the pub of course)

jee doesn't care as much??? he eats one as a snack by just biting in them. on a ship they are usually old grainy stale. maybe not as pleasant? so he just here and there eats one maybe he has a bad day and squeezes one in his hand may or may not imagin it to be a certain princes head...

now that i think about it firebenders could like make something like candied apple. they heat the apple up. dip it in sugar that sticks to the hot surface. and then heat it up again till the sugar melts and then hardens clear.

ozai deserves to be chained to the plaza and people get to trow rotten apples at him.

i was thinking about how i wished leverage had a birthday episode for some of the characters cause that would be sweet, but then i realised something and basically…. okay here’s my thoughts in quotes form, just for fun

hardison: so when’s your birthday? i could plan something for us and the team to do and-

parker: i dont know

hardison: you don’t know… your own birthday?

parker: no, how would i know? pshh, cmon, you’re telling me you remember EXACTLY when you were born? watch this - hey, eliot, do you know your exact birth date?

eliot, innocently passing by, who was canonically anonymously dropped off at a hospital as an infant: no, how would i know?

parker: that’s what i said!

hardison: excuse me?? what is going on right now

sophie, walking into the apartment: whats wrong?

hardison: parker and eliot- well, okay, when’s your birthday? i just have to prove something.

sophie: …….july 12th

hardison: why did you pause? wait, is that your birthday or sophie devereaux’s birthday?

sophie: ………… (guilty silence)

parker: see, no one knows their real birthday! haha you’re so weird sometimes, hardison

hardison:

do you dare go down the slide?

[mrbluesummers-moved]

I'm too tired to write the full Essay™, but someone said in the tags that Stampede took away Knives' fear and it made me realize that the core issue I have with Trigun Stampede is the fact that the characters lack the emotional depth of Trigun Maximum. Like, I'm enjoying Stampede, and it's emotional, but Knives and Vash especially have had their emotional complexity watered down in comparison to the manga.

In the manga, they were as much at war with themselves as they were with each other and world around them. Knives was expressive, animated, and always playing up the megalomaniac god complex in public, but in private he was exhausted and scared and even expressed guilt towards his sisters for being careless in how he orchestrated the fall. Vash was an upbeat pacifist who was constantly fighting his own urge to take the "easy" way out and kill to solve problems.

It's what made the manga so heartbreaking. Neither of them were entirely right, but neither of them were entirely wrong. Knives shouldn't try a genocide, but he was also a deeply traumatized child who was shown how cruel humans could be to plants. Vash should try to do as much good in the world as he can, but holding onto the ideals of pacifism in a hostile environment does more harm than good and he learns that when he's finally pushed to the point where he has to choose between killing and saving someone important to him.

I don't think it's impossible for Stampede to recover in Season 2, but the foundations aren't great. Changing Nai to being cold as child seems like such a small change, but Knives starting out as the optimist who loved humanity is so central to that internal conflict... I don't know. Maybe they'll come back to the point of Rem being important to Knives and make use of the fact that he intended for her to survive and that might save it. We'll have to see.

When I was in kindergarten, they took us on a school trip to an art museum where they had a limited time exhibit with a supposed replica of Noah's Ark. It was in a huge dark room with only a few lights underneath the ark, making it look extra impossing, and on the inside was a speaker that played whale sounds.

Our teacher made us sit cross-legged on the floor and stay there for around 10 minutes in order to appreciate this piece of art.

Over 20 years later and that still is one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever had 2/10.

what piercings does Danny have in your CFAU?

Danny’s got double lobe piercings on both ears, and then helixes, and an orbital on one side! Then he’s got an eyebrow piercing on the right side of his face. I don’t have any particular reason for why he’s got piercings as an adult, I just thought it’d be a fun way to indicate a physical change from when he was 14 and last saw the Waynes, to the next time they see him. Although with this version of Danny (rather than my original, unserious beta version of CFAU), it probably would follow that he'd potentially get piercings when he was older. (So not a total shock)

There's always a slight yearning in the back of my mind wishing I had been born in the right place, time, family situation, income level, etc. to have just lived in one single house for my entire life. Imagine being born in a place that still suits you, even through all of your personal evolutions and etc. The idea of deep familiarity with an area because you've lived and explored it for 40+ years, being encased in a web of memories and connections. Being able to clean out your old childhood bedroom and find personal artifacts, to dig in the yard and remember. I know those lives can still be plenty imperfect, but there's just something so seemingly solid and stable and Grounding about it that I sometimes wish I could have.. (At least from my outside perspective as someone who's moved around a bit geographically and even within the same area, never lives in the same house/ apartment /etc. for more than a few years usually.) Like... having a place that is printed upon, fully your own, rather than chronically a visitor, every thought of a space always tempered with the notion that one day soon you'll have to pack it all up again, etc. There's something peaceful about the permanence.
